Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng were used to playing around, and when Xuan Zheng got angry, he would even step on his face. So when Xuan Zheng said to step on his shoulder, Lin Chengyu didn't think much about it and kicked off his shoes. Xuan Zheng lifted them up easily, and his sight immediately became much higher.

Xuan Zheng is tall and has long legs, so Lin Chengyu usually has to tilt her head back when talking to him. The combined height of the two of them is enough to reach the tallest pomegranate.

Lin Chengyu kept moving his hands while saying, "This biggest and reddest fruit will be awarded to the hero of this fruit picking operation."

Xuan Zheng supported his legs. The smile in his eyes had never disappeared since the two of them came together. He pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Why don't I know who the great hero is? Can you tell me?"

Lin Chengyu picked a few more and felt that it was enough. He stepped on the ground with some force, signaling Xuan Zheng that he should go down. Xuan Zheng's big hands tightly gripped his legs like an iron clamp, and he said unyieldingly: "If you don't tell me, I won't let you go down."

Lin Chengyu was not afraid at all and said, "You let me go, and you don't feel tired. Don't blame me if I step on your shoulder and it gets bruised."

Xuan Zheng smiled indifferently, "How much do you weigh? How can you trample me? Tell me now. If you don't, I will take you around this palace and let everyone see how beautiful my Chengyu is."

Lin Chengyu is not afraid of heights, but he still has his dignity to save. If Xuan Zheng really carried him around the palace like this, he would never be able to face entering the palace again.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the fruits from the fruit trees in the palace are more delicious than those sold outside, and I don’t know what variety they are.

"No, I was wrong. Put me down first and I'll tell you." Lin Chengyu's tone softened. She shrank her toes timidly, pretending to be unsteady, and said in panic, "My legs are numb and I can't stand. Put me down quickly, please."

Xuan Zheng snorted and laughed. He was not worried. Even if the little ancestor on his shoulder accidentally fell down, he could catch him. "Then say something nice, and I will consider whether to let you down or not."

Lin Chengyu's voice was soft and light, as if blown by the wind, and fell into Xuan Zheng's ears, "Brother Zheng is the best, just put me down, I really can't stand anymore."

Xuan Zheng's heart moved, and even the coldest and hardest heart softened like a pool of water at this moment, flowing in his chest.

Seeing that he was stunned and motionless, Lin Chengyu immediately changed his expression, "Why are you in a daze? If you don't let me go down, I will beat you up."

Xuan Zheng then carefully put the person down, muttering quietly, "He changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book."

Lin Chengyu narrowed his eyes, "What are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that the pomegranates picked by my daughter Chengyu are the most delicious and better than those picked by others." Xuan Zheng took a few pomegranates from his hand with a smile and praised them sincerely.

Lin Chengyu glared at him, "They are all picked from the same tree, they are all the same."

Xuan Zheng said, "How can they be the same? Once this pomegranate has passed through your hands, it seems to have been enlightened. Look, isn't it redder than when it was hanging on the tree?"

He picked up the reddest one and put it in front of Lin Chengyu's face to let him see it, "Look at the luster, and smell the smell..."

Lin Chengyu pushed his hand away, but Xuan Zheng kept going around him to show him. Lin Chengyu said, "Yes, yes, you are right. Pack them up quickly and send a few to your brother. We can eat the rest when we get back."

Since it is to be presented to the emperor, the best ones should be presented to him. Lin Chengyu picked and chose among the pile of pomegranates, selected some big and red ones, and stuffed them into Xuan Zheng's arms. "It should be about right."

"Your Highness, your humble servant greets you."

The voices of Lady Jia and Lady Xing Wang sounded from behind them. Lin Chengyu turned around and smiled, "Grandmother, aunt..."

"I'll take these over first. You wait here for a while." Xuan Zheng suddenly interrupted him and said to Lady Jia, "I have something else to do. Please do as you please, old lady."

Grandmother Jia was somewhat flattered and said hurriedly, "Your Highness is very polite."

Lin Chengyu watched Xuan Zheng holding the pomegranate and walking towards the emperor, then she retracted her gaze and said, "I haven't congratulated my grandmother yet. My cousin is now the imperial concubine. It is really a great favor from the emperor."

Grandmother Jia was also very happy, "This is all the grace of the emperor to us old officials."

Madam Wang stared at Lin Chengyu with a sinister look, but when he looked over, she quickly withdrew her eyes, unable to conceal her pride in her tone, "Your Majesty's birthday is on the first day of the first lunar month. You are very lucky. When you give birth to a prince..."

"If you are confused, just shut up. How dare you talk nonsense in this place? You are such a foolish woman who doesn't know the life or death." Grandmother Jia stopped her. The eunuch who led the way was not very close and should not have heard what Wang said, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But this foolish woman was really too proud of herself. Yuanchun had just become a noble concubine and hadn't even established herself yet, but as her mother she was eager to bring disaster upon her.

Lin Chengyu pretended not to hear what Wang said, and didn't want to pay attention to her. She only spoke to Grandmother Jia, "I have been busy at home these days and haven't been able to visit grandma. I hope grandma will forgive me."

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Of course not. We are all family. Let's not say these polite words. You just moved and there are a lot of things to do. How could I not know?"

Mrs. Xing also smiled and said something flattering, "Chengyu, what you said is untrue. The old lady said yesterday that she was worried that you would be too busy these days to take care of your health. She was worried that you would not be able to eat or sleep well. She even wanted to go and see you in person."

"But the old lady is old after all, how could she do this? A group of people surrounded her and finally persuaded her to calm down. We were all moved by the old lady's kindness." After Mrs. Xing finished speaking, she seemed really moved and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

Lin Chengyu was moved and helped Grandmother Jia sit down. She said, "We all know that Grandmother is kind-hearted, but you shouldn't worry so much about us young people. If you hurt yourself because of these things, how can we feel at ease?"

Grandmother Jia patted his hands and said lovingly, "It doesn't matter. As long as you are all well, I will be satisfied."

As they were talking, Xuan Zheng came back. Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked, "Does the prince have a favorite girl?"

If not, Mrs. Wang would check with all the girls in the house one by one.

Yingchun is from the first wife. If she gains power, wouldn’t she be able to suppress the second wife? That’s not possible.

Tanchun is the daughter of the second wife, but not her biological daughter. Aunt Zhao is favored and loved by Jia Zheng because of her seductive ways. If Tanchun gains power, Aunt Zhao will step on her head.

Not to mention Xichun, the girl from Ningguo Mansion.

After much thought, Mrs. Wang realized that there was no one in the family who could really serve her, so she had to settle for the second best and decided on Tanchun.

These thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment. She stared at Xuan Zheng eagerly and began to fantasize in her heart that once she got close to Prince Linhuai, she would ask him to throw the boy from the Lin family aside and see how Jia Min would still be so proud.

Lin Chengyu was speechless when she looked at him.

Xuan Zheng's face suddenly darkened, a hint of impatience flashed in his dark eyes, and the aura around him was ten times colder than the coldest days of winter. Seeing that Cheng Yu was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.
